A member asked:
Possible to have a lower sex drive on focalin (dexmethylphenidate)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Stimulants like amphetamine or methylphenidate sometimes cause changes in sexual response. Normal sexual functioning requires a balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Stimulants push the balance in the direction of the sympathetic nervous system. Sometimes changes in sexual response effect sex drive, because it is unsettling when the body doesn't respond as expected.
